The hardest part was finding matching solid wood for the front edges. Made grain matching the easy part, the color of the maple was the toughest.

Chris, your right.

Nothing plain about the MG 944's!

Mike and I were playing a set yesterday morning, just prior to packaging. We were listening to City Of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, Pirates Of The Caribbean, Curse of the Black Pearl and the bass was just awesome.

The City Of Prague 100 Greatest Movie Themes needs to be checked out....Great stuff!!!

You have to be careful with patterned figure woods, like crotches or burls. As beautiful as they are when they are book matched, when not book matched, they can be uglier than just plain wood. It also adds to the cost in a lot of cases due to the fact that it need to be a raw veneer (more labor) and two times is much material if book matched and four times as much for a four way book match.
